点评:Hugely disappointed in this “tour” - virtually no commentary or interaction from the guide over the entire duration of the trip.
The boat ride from the dock in Mobile Bay to Great Island was about 35-40 minutes. We spent literally 5 minutes at the island viewing the puffins. Then the boat turned around and headed back for the return journey (return was much faster as the wind was at our backs). It was only during the 5 minutes at the island that the guide provided limited information, she otherwise kept to herself during the rest of the “tour”. During the travel time to and from the island the guide should have been sharing information about the local wildlife rather than hiding out by herself at the front of the boat.
I don’t know if this short viewing time (5 minutes) at the island is normal. The ride to the island was pretty choppy and slow due to headwinds, but once we were in the shelter of the island the water was pretty calm and in my opinion we could have stayed longer. When we started the return journey I actually thought we were moving to a new viewing point because we had been viewing for such a short period of time.
I see there are lots of good reviews by others and I’m glad others had a good tour. This was definitely not my experience and there’s lots of room for improvement. Hopefully Molly Bawn reads this review and makes some adjustments to how they run their tours.
翻译:这次“旅行”真是太失望了——整个行程中导游几乎没有任何讲解或互动。
从莫比尔湾码头到大岛的船程大约35-40分钟。我们只在岛上待了5分钟观察海鹦。然后船就掉头返航了(回程快得多,因为顺风)。只有在岛上的5分钟里,导游才提供了一些信息,除此之外,在剩下的“旅行”时间里,她都保持沉默。在往返岛屿的途中,导游应该分享当地野生动物的信息,而不是独自躲在船头。
我不知道在岛上这么短的观景时间(5分钟)是否正常。由于逆风,去往岛屿的船程相当颠簸,速度也很慢,但一旦我们进入岛屿的避风处,水面就相当平静了,我觉得我们可以待更长时间。当我们开始返程时,我实际上以为我们是在移动到一个新的观景点,因为我们观景的时间太短了。
我看到很多其他人的好评,我很高兴其他人的旅行体验很好。这绝对不是我的体验,而且还有很多改进空间。希望 Molly Bawn 能看到这篇评论,并对他们组织的旅行做出一些调整。
